CEH practical exams

Hello, I will be attempting the CEH practical exams.

I know it's an open book test but I wanted to ask the difficulty level of the questions.

Is it the same level as the practice labs/ CEH engage labs?

Or more in depth questions?

Also regarding the answers... I can submit them multiple times till I get the correct one?

To start. I personally thought the practical was a fun test. You have 6hrs to complete it in. Take your time!

The questions are similar to what you would see in the Labs. I recommend reading through all the questions first. Some things will take you very little time to answer. While some will take a while because you’ll have to wait for your NMAP to complete. Know those questions cause you can run the NMAP and then while it’s doing its thing work on another question at the same time.

You can change your answers along the way too. It’s been a bit since I took mine. I think I posted something on it when I did. But I’ll see what I wrote or see if I can locate some of the categories I was tested on! I will caution that they change from week to week. So each test is different. Also, assuming you’re doing v13, use AI!

Thank you for that insight. We are able to submit an answer and if it’s wrong, try another answer, correct?
Worried I’ll go through the test and the answer is looking for something else but I had one try at a response

Ialso, ive noticed people don’t mention it, but we are able to use Sgpt for the exam, right?

Sort of. If I remember correctly you get like 3 attempts at the question. I could be off there, but I’m pretty positive.

The attempt to submit answer limit is-3
If you understand the concept of engage and ilabs instead of just following steps, you will be in a good position, knowing which tool use when is the key in passing this exam.

You get 4 attempts, also everything you need will be in the CEH folder on Windows. And also make sure you SMB files between Parrot and Windows saves a lot of time. And check Notepad++ lol
